[Verse 1]
D            C6                 Bbmaj7           Am7
   Mmm, yes, then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth,
D                       C6     Bbmaj7
   Going deep south, go down, (mmm, yes!)
     C6                 D
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies off of Howth Head,
C6             Bbmaj7      Am7
Into the flesh,       (mmm----, yes!)
   Gm7                        Am7
He said I was a flower of the mountain, (yes!)
    Gm7                    Am7
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body
 
[Chorus]
D             C/D        Dm7  G/D
Yes, stepping out of the page  ...into the sensual world,
D             C/D    Dm7
     Stepping out, 
G/D              D
    To where the water and the earth caress,
        C6              Bbmaj7        Am7
And the down of a peach says...  (mmm----, yes!)
 
[Verse 2]
        D                                  C6            Bbmaj7
...Do I look for those millionaires like a Machiavellian girl would?
             D      C6        Bbmaj7  Am7
When I could wear a sunset,  (mmm---, yes!)
    Gm7                Am7               Gm7
And how we'd wished to live in a sensual world,
Am7                Gm7         Am7
    You don't need words, just one kiss, then another
 
[Chorus
D            C/D        Dm7  G/D                    D
    Stepping out of the page    ...into the sensual world,
             C/D        Dm7  G/D                    D
    Stepping out of the page    ...into the sensual world

[Verse 3]
D                                                    C6
   And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech,
    Bbmaj7                     Am7
(Mmm-------, yes!) and then he whispered,
          Dsus2                 C6
"Would I...    (mmm, yes!) ...be safe...
    Bbmaj7               Am7
(Mmm------, yes!) ...from mountain flowers?"
D                                  C6          Bbmaj7
   And at first with the charm a - round him, (mmm, yes!)
   Am7             Gm7   Am7                Gm7
He loosened it, so if it slipped between my breasts...
               Am7
...He'd rescue it, (mmm, yes!)
 
[Verse 4 and Coda]
D                             C6      Bbmaj7 Am7     D
   And his spark took life in my hand     ...and... (mmm, yes!)
  C6     Bbmaj7     Am7         D        C6     Bbmaj7   Am7
I said, (mmm, yes!)  ...but not yet, (mmm----,  yes!)
 D       C    Bbmaj7  A7sus4    D
(Mmmmmm, yes! Mmm,    yes!)
